2011 Map of Deardens Knoll

About this map

Great Salt Lake dominates this landscape, where the waters of Gilbert Bay and Carrington Bay meet the western shoreline. This 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey reveals a stark topography where the salt-crusted flats and marshlands give way to the rising elevations of the Lakeside Mountains. Several prominent landmarks break the low-lying terrain, including Deardens Knoll and Richins Knoll, which serve as natural navigation points in an area defined by its dynamic water levels and remote character. To the northwest, the terrain ascends sharply toward Sally Mountain, illustrating the transition from the saline basin to the rocky uplands. This sheet provides a clear look at the intricate coastline and the uninhabited, natural formations that characterize this segment of Tooele County.
